How Much Ham Per Person Is Just Right?

When it comes to planning the ham for Easter dinner (or any meal where a large-format pork will be the hero), a number of questions present themselves almost immediately: Where should I buy the ham? What type of ham should I buy? Bone-in or boneless? How much ham per person? and so on. Odds are your holiday meal will be a bit smaller this year than it has been in years past, but these questions remain just as important when serving your household of three as they were when you were hosting 20. So, let’s break it down. From Our Shop Olympia Provisions Sweetheart Ham $59–$89 More Options Berti Italian Cornotech-Handled Carving Set $648 Enamel Roasting Pan $106 More Colors How much ham per person? The best rule of thumb for ham is to plan about 1/2 pound per person when picking a bone-in ham (it’s heavier) and 1/3 pound if boneless. Look, at the end of the day, some people will eat more than expected, some will eat less—it’ll even out. If you’re making a lot of side dishes, err on the smaller side; if you texted your roommates "ham party at 3 p.m. on Sunday," consider buying more. Read More >>

Roasted Summer Squash (With a Panko Breading)

Roasted summer squash is oven-easy and super tasty! Rounds of squash are seasoned and topped with a crispy crumb topping. I love yellow squash in this recipe but you can use zucchini, patty pans, and even crookneck squash if they’re still popping up in your supermarket. An Easy Side Dish This recipe brings out the very best flavors with just a few ingredients and even fewer steps! Squash takes just minutes to roast and has great flavor. The simple crispy coating clings to each piece adding flavor and crunch! Ingredients or Variations SQUASH Naturally, summer squash is the star here (zucchini or pattypan work great in this recipe too). BREADING  The light breading mixture of Panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and some seasonings like lemon pepper, paprika, and salt is what pulls this recipe altogether!

Beef Bourguignon (Beef Stew with Wine)

Image
This Beef Bourguignon is a take on a classic French stew with a deep rich flavor from red wine. Tender beef, mushrooms, carrots, potatoes, and bacon are simmered in a savory broth. Don’t be afraid to try this recipe, it’s one that Julia Child was well known for and while it does need some time, it’s actually not difficult to make. What is Beef Bourguignon? Beef Bourguignon (pronounced “bef bur-gee-nyon,”) is a beef stew recipe . The difference between this recipe and a regular stew is the amount of wine added to the broth giving it a deep flavor. Carrots, onions, mushrooms, and garlic round out this one-pot meal. The whole thing bakes in the oven until tender. Ingredients This recipe is a simplified version of Julia Child’s Beef Bourguignon with the steps somewhat simplified (and ingredients slightly adapted). BEEF When choosing meat for stew , I prefer chuck as it comes out so nice and tender but stewing meat works well too. VEGGIES Any root vegetable will work in this re
